Fastening mechanism

Abstract

A fastening mechanism for use in an electronic device, including: a box with two side walls each provided with a first guiding groove formed with a through-hole and a second guiding groove; two fastening elements matching the second guiding grooves; and two resilient positioning elements disposed on the two fastening elements respectively and corresponding in position to the through-hole, wherein at least one of the two resilient positioning elements corresponds in position to the through-hole and includes a positioning portion.
